Injured Patients

Head injury is a major cause of morbidity in Western society and sport related incidents account for approximately 11% of all head injured patients attending Accident and Emergency Departments. 1 Golf was shown to be one of the sports most commonly associated with head injury requiring referral to a regional neurosurgical centre.2 Previous studies have demonstrated that it is predominantly children who sustain golf related head injuries which present either to an accident and emergency department3 or a regional neurosurgical centre.2 This study examines the number and pattern of golf related head injuries in children presenting to an accident and emergency department or requiring admission to the regional neurosurgical centre, over a three month period.

Careful Assessment

160 consecutive hand infections presented to an Accident and Emergency department over a four-month period. All but one were treated solely on an out-patient basis. The mean delay to presentation was three days, the mean duration of treatment was six days. Follow-up to complete resolution was achieved in 89% of cases. No patients were treated with parenteral antibiotics. The need for careful assessment, early aggressive surgery, and meticulous attention to the principles of wound care by experienced clinicians is emphasized.
